Great piece, but I don't think I'll be able to forgive him for getting "Miracles" stuck in my head. That song had the worst lyrics ever--"I had a taste of the real world / When I went down on you, girl." Ugh.

I didn't notice the Jefferson Airplane reference in the title, so I was guessing he was talking about the Stones as the band that "lost its fastball", and of course, "Angie" as the saccharine ballad (wrong year too, Angie's from 1973).

I always enjoy D' Acquisto's articles, he does great job of painting an image of what baseball and his life were like in 1975.
I never knew "Miracles" had those cheesey dirty lyrics, pretty bad. However, D' Acquisto's previous article "Mahogany" made me appreciate "Do You Know Where You're Going To"
